This was voted best pub in Bristol in 2006 and a worthy winner it was too. A good size pub with car park and a good sized garden. It does lack some of the charm of the Wellington which is five minutes down the road, but it more then makes up for it in choice. Everytime I've been here and there's too many to mention, they've had atleast 16 real ales, ciders and if memory serves me correctly 'perry' on tap. It really does have one if not the best selection of beers in Bristol (the commercial rooms on park street is probably the only one that comes close).

As well as good beer there's enough here to keep most people happy. It has three pool tables a fruit machine and a quiz machine amongst other forms of entertainment eg quiz night.

I really like this pub, my wife on the otherhand, can't stand it. She's not a beer drinker which doesn't really help, she refuses to come here any more. for that reason I give this pub four stars, If my wife changes her mind about this place then it would just scrape a 5 star rating.

Yes I am under the thumb - happy drinking!
